Open-Source JSON Form Builder to Create Dynamic Forms Right in Your App. With SurveyJS form UI libraries, you can build and style forms in a fully-integrated drag & drop form builder, render them in your JS app, and store form submission data in any backend, inc. PHP, ASP.NET Core, and Node.js.
Personally I quite like ts-reset to "fix" some of the std lib types - JSON.parse will now return unknown. It's then up to you to decide how you wish to parse that unknown (zod, runtypes, io-ts are all reasonable options here). Won't ever be done by TS itself, as generating runtime code is a non-goal for the project.
Aha, so you're using a library in Java for this. You know about libraries in TS for this, there are plenty of them btw, but you don't use them because it's so easy. Express has `any` type for `req.body` because authors don't care about this either and it's so easy. And TypeScript is the one to blame in that you prefer to work with `any` type for incoming data rather than validating it.
